Drowned at Bay Ridge

A gloom was thrown over the pleasure
seekers at Bay Ridge yesterday afternoon
about 4,30 O'clock, by the accidental
drowning of young man named Louis
Botzar, aged about 10 years, the son of
John b. Bother, residing at 1902 Eager
street, Baltimore, Md. Young Bother,
early in the afternoon, engaged in game
of basel ball and became very much over
heated, after which, in company with
several of his companions, he went in
bathing, and remained in the water sew
eral hours While in the water he came
across log upon which he would rest
himself and float along at his ease. \
heavy ebb tide was running at the time
and the current was very strong. The
log carried him beyond the outer posts,
or safety line, and he was warned by Mr..
Wilson, the boatman in attendance, the
danger he was running and that he had
better come and get in the boat and be
taken nearer shore. He replied that he
was good swimmer and able to take
care of him If. The boatman's atten-
ton was then directed to some other
bathers, who were beyond the safe lines,
and when he turned to look after young
Batter he had left the log and was not to
be seen The supposition is that he jump
ashore and was seized with cramps, and
sank before assistance could reach him.
When the alarm was given that man
was drowned, every effort was made by
those in the water to rescue the young
man but without success. Search was
Immediately made with graphing irons,
for the body which was recovered in
about eight feet of water, some thirty
minutes after the sad occurrence. The body
was taken to the bath-house in the roo m
where he had left his clothing, and neat
ly dressed by his friends, who afterwards
removed it aboard the tug ''Annie Bell, :"
which was chartered by the company, and
taken to the city to his distressed parents,
who, in the meantime, had been telegraph.
a1 the sad news. Young Bother, ii is
said, was also subject to heart disease,
and it is thought by his friends that he
was seized with one of these attacks, and
sank before he could give an alarm, as
the purplish condition of the body when
taken from the water would indicate this
to be the case,

included st. Louis, New York and other
attractive points. While in the Missouri
metropolis, where be journeyed as a dele
gate from John F. Reynolds post, G. A.
R., MIR. Jeffrey of course attended the
grand e%ncampment convention, shook
hands with the great heroes, and shouted
and worked for his candidates in the cleo
ton of officers. In York State he visited
scenes of his childhood and renewed old
acquaintanceships. Mr.. Jeffrey, whose
opinion upon the subject carries weight,
is convinced that times are improving
throughout the East. Real estate is
changing hands at advanced prices, while
the money market is becoming looser.
The gentleman is not one whit less enthu-
.siastic over the prospects of Cheyenne
and the entire territory, however, and
only regrets that he was not present to
invest more literally in the recent lot

A. L. Mauk, of Carbon, who was dele
gate to the grand lodge l. o. o. F., left
for his home last evening, to resume
charge OF his boot and shoe house. Mr..
Mauk is an enthusiastic secret society
man, and is one of the best known and
most popular residents OF the western por
ton of the territory. He is one of those
restless spirits who think two or three
years is a long time to reside IN one local
ity. At various times within the past
year he has held forth at Rawlips, Rock
Springs, Green River, Saratoga and Car
bon. always leaving a profitable business
and many warm friends. 1t is said that
the dues which accrue against Mr.. Mauk
upon the books of secret societies over
balance his other expenses. If he fails
to attend a convention or reunion of any
sort held within 1000 miles of where he
lives it is because he is sick or finds it i'm.
possible to leave his business affairs.

night was an enjoyable and well attended

usual, and everyone upon the floor seemed
to enter fully into the spirit of the affair
There were twenty-four dances on the
well arranged programme, and in conse-
quence the hour was quite late when the
final number, the Home, Sweet Home"
waltz was reached.
Following the name of each dance on
the card was a toast to some other assem-
bly, or a prominent citizen. Among the
latter thus kindly remembered by the
order were Governor Moonlight, Mayor
Riner and Master Workman Granger.
Premier Gladstone, Father McGlynn ard
Henry George were also remembered.
